# byobu-launcher-install(1)

Byobu Launcher installation utility

## NAME

byobu-launcher-install - Byobu Launcher installation utility

## SYNOPSIS

byobu-launcher-install \[-n\|--no-logout\]

## DESCRIPTION

[**byobu-launcher-install**(1)](/byobu-launcher-install/1.md) is a simple utilty that will add a line to your *$HOME/.profile* file which launches [**byobu**(1)](/byobu/1.md) any time you login through [**ssh**(1)](/ssh/1.md) or on a [**console**(4)](/console/4.md).

By default, when users detach from the [**byobu**(1)](/byobu/1.md) session they will also logout.  Users can change this behavior by adding the \[-n\|--no-logout\] option when they run [**byobu-launcher-install**(1)](/byobu-launcher-install/1.md).

You can disable this behavior entirely at any time with the **[byobu-launcher-uninstall(1)](/byobu-launcher-uninstall/1.md) utility.**
